PTI MIM #247

I made this card for my father as his hearing is getting poorer. Everytime, I call home, he could barely hear me and I had to shout at the top of my voice. Three days ago, when I called him, I spent 5 minutes explaining that it was me and he still could not get me until my mum took over!

Therefore, I decided that I should go back to the old fashion way to communication by sending him a card.

At PTI MIM, Melissa showed us some fun with watercolouring. For this card, I used PTI A Little Agryle which I used it for the background stamping. The tree is from PTI Father Knows Best which is stamped on watercolour cardstock and heat embossed in white. Then, I used TH distress inks to watercolour the image and did some sprinkling. Lastly, I added some clear sequins.

Weather has been very nice the last few days and it's going to continue for the next days....

Yesterday, DH and I decided to go cycling to look for fields of tulips which we always do almost every year! We cycled about 17.5km knowing what is ahead of us until we saw this.... and I thought, I still need to go home.....

We missed the season-my heart sank! Then we cycled a little bit further to look around and found these. These are nothing as compared to previous years but I was happy with them.

The fully bloomed tulips.

At the far end whereby you see the greens, they should have been colours!

I will be back to show you more of the tulips of different colours soon. Hope you enjoyed the tulips and thanks for dropping by!

What a lovely card and I know your father will appreciate it, nothing like the written word.Thank you for sharing the pictures of the tulips. I didn't see where you took the photo but my Dutch friend always told me how they would cut down all the beautiful flowers to get just the bulbs and you could get so many tulips for super cheap. They are some of my favorite flowers and so expensive in the US,.

I saw that MIM video and really wanted to try this. Your card is fabolous, I love the outcome of this technique and the quote you added. Lovely photo's also, glad you still found some ones still in bloom!
